Arshdeep Singh, a pacer, conceded just three runs in the last over to help India defeat Australia in the fifth Twenty20 international in a thrilling match. In addition to taking three significant wickets, Ravi Bishnoi also shown the power of his spin. India defeated Australia 4-1 in the five-match series.
Australia led by Travis Head and Josh Phillippe started the 161-run chase. With 14 runs off of Arshdeep Singh's opening over, the opening pair got off to an explosive start. Josh Phillippe was quickly removed by Mukesh Kumar, ending the opening pairing.
After 20 overs, Team India vice skipper Shreyas Iyer struck a stunning half-century to move his side closer to a manageable score of 160/8. Only Shreyas Iyer and Axar Patel were able to contribute runs to the score as India failed to score against the accurate bowling of Australia.
Due to the rapid wicket-taking by Australian pacers, who have dismissed Suryakumar Yadav, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Yashasvi Jaiswal, Team India is in a precarious situation. While at the crease, Rinku Singh and Shreyas Iyer are trying to steady the Indian innings.
After winning the toss, Australian captain Matthew Wade decided to bowl first. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad of Team India walked to the crease to begin their innings, while Aaron Hardie and Jason Behrendorff of Australia are spearheading their country's pace assault.
The last Twenty20 International (T20I) match of the five-match series between Australia and Suryakumar Yadav's India begins at 7 p.m. today at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
The fourth Twenty20 match saw the Men in Blue secure the series, but Surya, who is captaining the Indian team for the first time in international cricket, might find the series even more memorable if they win 4-1.
Speaking of Surya, all eyes will be on the Indian captain as he attempts to build on his strong series beginnings and record a large score to bolster his ego before the forthcoming T20 series in South Africa. Even though the Indian batting lineup has been outstanding, certain players, like Jitesh Sharma, will be trying to hold onto their spot in the starting lineup, while others, like Axar Patel, will be hoping to get back to their previous level of batting performance.
The Australians, captained by Matthew Wade, will be hoping to complete a lengthy tour of India with a major victory in their final Twenty20 match.
The Chinnaswamy's compact boundaries and pitch conditions have historically made batting at this location easier, hence the series' final game is probably going to be high-scoring.

Australia! The home team had successfully protected 160 on a track where scoring runs was difficult. India earned a competitive total because to cameos from Jitesh and Axar, and top scorer Shreyas Iyer, who finished with 53. Travis Head responded without any hesitation. With three straight boundaries to start the chase, he placed pressure on the Indian bowlers. Australia got off to a scorching start, scoring 40 runs off the opening four overs, forcing SKY to switch to spin even though Philippe was lost for nothing. With Head hitting him over deep midwicket on the fourth ball, Ravi Bishnoi let up a six. However, the wrist-spinner took revenge by castleing the dangerman on the very next ball.
Australia were 70/3 at the halfway point and they scored 21 runs in the next two overs. Axar finished with outstanding figures of 4-0-14-1, breaking the 47-run stand in his final over. McDermott reached his fifty with a six, but in the same over, he was bowled out low. In his outstanding 17th over, Mukesh Kumar took two wickets in a row. However, Wade's hat-trick of fours against Avesh Khan in the eighteenth over kept his team in the chase. The visitors needed 10 runs off the last over after Mukesh Kumar bowled a respectable penultimate delivery. Wade lost his temper when the first ball of the last over was not wide when it should have been.
The Australian captain perished a few balls later, and Arshdeep finished the formalities. After giving up 37 runs in his first three overs, the left-arm pacer let up just three runs in the final over to win the match. Attend the seminars if you can. Shreyas Iyer: I'm happy to see everyone pitching in, and I find it amazing how these guys have come together from game one, especially in the batting department. Bravo to Ashdeep for maintaining his composure when delivering the final over; I could see it in him. It wasn't an easy wicket to bat on, so I started calculating what would be the best score when I saw three wickets falling. In situations like these, it's important to evaluate the conditions and adjust your batting strategy, and today was a great example of how our team did that. 160 was the correct total, and it's an excellent number considering that they lost 4 wickets at the top and bowlers did a good job in restricting them.
Arshdeep Singh: Thank God I defended it, and I'm also grateful to the staff for believing in me. I was thinking I gave up too many runs (in the first three overs) and was hoping for another chance. Prior to bowling the last over, Surya informed me that the hitters deserve credit for their efforts no matter what occurs. Our cushion, which was between fifteen and twenty runs, was clearly above average. Speaking about his performances in this series, it was not up to the standards that the Indian team has established, but there are many lessons to be learned, and we hope to return stronger.
Matthew Wade: I felt our bowling was comparatively well. We limited them to a total that at this point probably ought to have been pursued. The last five or six overs (at bat) have been disappointing. The temptation to use a lefty against the two spinners is constant. Looking ahead to the World Cup, I see myself playing in the same division as Marcus Stoinis and Tim David. anticipating the World Cup. In cases like this one, it's my responsibility to try and get us home. Having known the outcome tonight would have been wonderful. 3-2 would have likely been a fair representation of the series' state; we learned a lot, played some excellent cricket, and occasionally were outplayed. McDermott recovered from his opening encounter to the second game tonight.
In this series, people like Sangha, Dwarshuis, and Jason Behrendorff made a significant impact. Conditions don't get any worse than this.
The Player of the Series is Ravi Bishnoi. In the opening game, I did not bowl. I just concentrated on doing it well. It's a simple plan of bowl stump-to-stump. (On the South Africa series): I'll attempt to adjust as fast as I can; different wicket, different difficulty.
Player of the Match Axar Patel: It was enjoyable today. In the first four matches, there was dew. For me, it was a custom-fit wicket today. I was able to establish a rhythm after playing a few games. We also played a couple games together for Gujarat (bowling alongside Ravi Bishnoi). We hope that our collaboration will flourish because we compliment each other.
After grabbing the trophy, SKY teams up with his teammates to take a picture behind the CHAMPIONS hoarding. The kids put up a fantastic display to seal the series. The Indian camp is all smiles. And with that, this 5-match T20I series comes to an end.
Suryakumar Yadav: The series was enjoyable. It was admirable how the boys demonstrated their abilities. We desired to enjoy ourselves when we were in the midst and to be bold. "Do whatever is right and just enjoy your game," was my advice to them, and they followed it. I'm overjoyed about that. It would have been an add-on if Washington Sundar had been present. It is easier to pursue 200+ at Chinnaswamy. Here, 160–175 is a difficult story. Ten overs later, I informed the boys that we have a game on.
